The Return Of Mr. Bean - S1-E2
Continuity mistake: The yellow towel Mr. Bean puts in his basket in the department store is so large it nearly takes up all the space in his basket, yet when he rides up the escalator, the the towel is now half the size of the basket, even though it's folded.
The Library - S1-E3
Continuity mistake: Just when Mr. Bean's hiccups are over the guy sitting on the table with him takes his right hand up to the book and has his left lower arm on the table. But after Bean hiccups again he suddenly has his right hand down again and his left hand on his book.
Continuity mistake: When Mr Bean is trying to get out of the car park through the entrance, he uses a wheelie-bin to simulate a car to get the gate to open. After he's out and shifted the bin, he's blocked in by another car. We see a hand take the next ticket (presumably belonging to the driver of the incoming car) but the car pulling up in front of Mr Bean is so far away from the ticket machine its not possible for him to take it and drive into the car park in the short amount of time seen, plus we never see or hear anybody get out of the car to get the ticket.
Continuity mistake: It's clear Mr Bean is hanging from the diving board by one hand by the time the boy decides to stamp on his hand. When the boy does stamp on him, watch the position of Bean's left arm in the next shot – he appears to be holding on with both hands.
Continuity mistake: Just after Mr. Bean's hand is stomped on by one of the boys, and he lets go of the diving board, the camera pans back to show him falling into the water, but the same shot shows no-one else standing on either of the diving boards. The two boys should have still been standing on the higher one.
Suggested correction: This is only an error in the "widescreen," aka cropped version of the episode. In the original 4:3 edit, you can see the two boys at the top of the screen, but the "widescreen" shot cuts them off.
And even then, the boys' legs are still visible in the widescreen version.
Continuity mistake: Mr. Bean places his shoe on top of the car in the bottom right corner. But when he jumps out in front of the car, it is suddenly at the front in the middle.
The Trouble With Mr. Bean - S1-E8
Continuity mistake: When Mr Bean is going round the roundabout putting his tie on, there is no traffic waiting in the overhead shots, yet all frontal shots of Bean show traffic waiting in the background.
The Trouble With Mr. Bean - S1-E8
Continuity mistake: In the sketch where Mr Bean drives to the dentist, there is a part where he starts to dress himself. If you look out of the window, the scenery keeps changing dramatically. In some shots he is driving along a single lane carriageway with buildings on the sides and in other shots he his driving along a dual carriageway with no buildings on the sides, all while he is getting dressed.
The Trouble With Mr. Bean - S1-E8
Continuity mistake: When Mr. Bean is dressing in his car on the way to the dentist, just after he puts his shirt on the camera cuts to show him from the rear of the car. In this shot he has his dress pants on already, but he hadn't put them on yet and in subsequent shots they are gone again.
The Trouble With Mr. Bean - S1-E8
Continuity mistake: When Bean is putting his shoes on, out the window the scenery is going straight but in the overhead shot he is on a roundabout.
The Trouble With Mr. Bean - S1-E8
Continuity mistake: At the end of the driving to dentist scene, Bean gets out and his pajama bottoms are sticking out of his fly. Yet we previously saw him put the pajamas on the passenger seat.
The Trouble With Mr. Bean - S1-E8
Continuity mistake: When Mr. Bean is putting his shirt on, there is a shot from the back of the mini and he has his brown trousers on. From the front angle, he still has his pajamas on.
Merry Christmas Mr. Bean - S1-E10
Continuity mistake: After Mr. Bean's musical performance, there's a shot of people applauding him. There's a man at the right of the group. In the next scene that same man is seen buying the last two Christmas trees, right before Mr. Bean gets a chance to buy any. There's only five seconds between the scenes. The man couldn't have run to the Christmas tree salesman, talk to him, and pay him for the trees within those five seconds. (00:10:25)
Merry Christmas Mr. Bean - S1-E10
Continuity mistake: Mr Bean only removes four bangers from his Christmas crackers, but when he puts them all into a single big cracker, there are far more than four there.
Merry Christmas Mr. Bean - S1-E10
Continuity mistake: Mr. Bean puts Christmas cards in envelopes, then seals each envelope by licking each flap. Then he puts the envelopes through the mail slot in his door, pretending that someone else mailed them to him, which is funny. Then he opens each envelope just by unfolding the flap instead of tearing open the envelope, that means that each flap had not been sealed.
Suggested correction: There is only a few moments between Bean licking the envelopes and then posting them to himself. Obviously the glue on the envelopes hasn't dried yet.
If the envelope Mr. Bean had opened were actually the envelope he had licked, then some part of the glue would have stuck, even though there were only a few seconds between licking, mailing and opening, so we would have seen him have a little resistance from the envelope when he opened the envelope. Also, he licked only one envelope, but he mailed three envelopes, so presumably prior to him coming home in the episode, he had licked the other two envelopes. Because he licked one envelope, it is reasonable he would have licked the other two envelopes earlier.
Merry Christmas Mr. Bean - S1-E10
Continuity mistake: Mr Bean parks his mini outside Harrods. While he is parking the car there are no people on the pavement behind the Santa Claus, but as soon as Bean gets out of the car there are several people behind Santa.
Merry Christmas Mr. Bean - S1-E10
Continuity mistake: When Bean first sticks his head into the turkey the bird is lying on its back, but in the next shot, when he stands up, the bird is the other way around.
Continuity mistake: When Mr. Bean is sleeping on his bed, you can see his teddy bear's head. In the next shot after the nightmare, the teddy bear's head is gone.
Do-It-Yourself Mr. Bean - S1-E13
Continuity mistake: In the scene where Mr. Bean is on the roof of his car in the armchair, he has a brick in front of the tire. When he is ready to go he pulls it away and drops it. But as he drives away you can see in the background that the brick has disappeared. (00:12:15)
Do-It-Yourself Mr. Bean - S1-E13
Continuity mistake: When Mr. Bean brings in his new chair after his "incident", he wheels his old chair over to the wall with a minimal gap to accommodate the new chair. But when he is accidentally dropping things out of the gap in his wall, he goes and looks at the mess he has made and the chair has moved forward considerably without anyone touching it. (00:14:50)
